SN7404NG4

Overview

The SN7404NG4 is a hex inverter integrated circuit manufactured by Texas Instruments. It belongs to the standard 7400 series logic family and features six independent inverting gates within a single package. The device utilizes bipolar transistor technology for signal inversion. It is housed in a 14-pin plastic dual in-line package (PDIP) designed for through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards. This component provides basic logical inversion functions for digital circuits.

Feature Summary

• Contains six independent inverter channels for simultaneous signal processing
• Utilizes standard TTL-compatible bipolar logic architecture
• Provides complementary output states relative to input signals

Applications

• Digital logic signal inversion
• Waveform shaping and conversion
• Basic gate implementation in control circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'G4' against official manufacturer documentation to confirm compliance with RoHS directives and lead-free manufacturing standards. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact package style and temperature rating required for the target application environment before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring multiple independent inverters using standard bipolar logic. Consider the PDIP-14 package constraints for board layout and verify that the operating voltage range aligns with the system power supply. Evaluate thermal dissipation requirements if driving high capacitive loads.

Part Context

This part is a variant of the widely used 7404 hex inverter, distinguished by its specific environmental or packaging suffix. It serves as a fundamental building block in digital electronics, offering reliable switching performance for general-purpose logic applications across industrial and consumer equipment.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include SN74LS04N for lower power consumption or SN74HC04N for CMOS compatibility. Verify pinout consistency and electrical characteristics such as propagation delay and drive current when transitioning between different logic families.
